Snoop Dogg’s transition into Rastafarian culture in anticipation of the release of his 12th studio album ‘Reincarnated’ has drawn some criticism from Bunny Wailer, one of the original members of Bob Marley and the Wailers. Snoop announced he’d be going by Snoop Lion from now on and released his first reggae track, ‘La La La,’ last summer.

Bunny Wailer has voiced his concerns about Snoop’s Rastafarian transformation and told TMZ he thinks the rapper’s new persona is an “outright fraudulent use of Rastafari Community’s personalities and symbolism.”

Bunny’s sentiment has been echoed by the Ethio-Africa Diaspora Union Millennium Council, which also calls itself the Rastafari Millennium Council, and the organization has put together a 7-page letter explaining their opposition to the rapper’s use of Rastafari symbolism.

Snoop, however, has managed to impress Bob Marley’s son Rohan Marley who tweeted his kudos to the rapper writing, “RASTA RESPECT for your #Reincarnation.”
